Full grade Daiyu in the Red Chamber

Chapter 10

The ancestor of the family fainted to death, this is really a big deal, the whole Rong Mansion suddenly fell into chaos.

Just now Madam Xing still had the momentum to kill all directions, but now she was stunned, her face was pale, her face was full of panic and fear, and she looked like she was on the verge of falling.

Mrs. Wang hastily asked someone to carry the old lady in, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief and cried, "Sister-in-law is dissatisfied with our second room, just come to me. How can the old lady survive at such an old age?" Is it possible for you to be so exciting?"

"Yuanyang didn't mean to be disrespectful to you, but the old lady was angry with you and the guardian said something to you, why are you so impatient and slapped in the face? You are not slapping Yuanyang in the face, you are hitting the old lady The face! The old lady is our mother-in-law. Sister-in-law, you...you...you are too much!"

After a few words, this label of "unfilial piety" has been completely pinned to Mrs. Xing's head.

Jia Amnesty, who just got the letter and rushed over, just heard it, and immediately burst into anger, rushed into the room and gave Mrs. Xing a big mouth.

"I'm going to divorce you bitch!" Jia She was so angry that her eyes were red. Although the old lady was partial to the second child, she was still his mother. His own wife dared to hit his mother in the face. His mother fainted from anger, is that okay?
Mrs. Wang held a veil in her hand to cover her raised lips, seeing Mrs. Xing's pale face, she felt very happy.

Dare to block her daughter's Qingyun Road? Bah!
Mrs. Xing was still immersed in the fear of "making her mother-in-law faint with anger", but she was suddenly slapped by Jia She, and when she heard that he was going to divorce her, she looked at his mother-killing and enemy-like eyes... suddenly felt sad From the heart.

"Who does the master think I am for? I am not for you!" Mrs. Xing cried and shouted: "Then Jia Yuanchun wants to take 3 taels of silver from the family again, 3 taels! Most of the entire Rongfu should belong to our eldest family, but their second room is like the owner of this Rongfu, and the food, drink, and housing on weekdays are all better than our eldest room, why!"

"Besides, they usually pay money from the account of the mansion whenever they have something to do. These years, Jia Yuanchun alone has spent at least [-] yuan! Not counting your second brother who is irregular What kind of calligraphy and painting can you buy for tens of thousands of yuan, and Jia Baoyu, his annual expenses alone can cover at least ten masters like you!"

"Most of the family property in the Rong Mansion belongs to our eldest family, and it belongs to you, master. But if they spend it like this, how much will fall into the hands of the master in the future? Besides, according to the old lady's treatment of the second house I'm afraid that there will be only an empty shell left for the master!" "I just don't want to give Jia Yuanchun the 3 taels. The old lady treats me with eyes that are neither eyes nor nose, and even that will kill me." My slaves can teach me by pointing at my nose... What kind of wife am I? What kind of wife am I!"

The more Mrs. Xing spoke, the more sad she became, and she actually sat down on the ground and began to cry loudly.

It's true that she is the stepmother, but she is also married by Ming Media, but because of her bad background, the mother-in-law doesn't like her when she enters the house, and the master doesn't have any affection for her. Look down on her, even the servants in the mansion look down on her, with the name of the eldest lady of the Rong Mansion, she is even worse than those decent girls!
Jia Amnesty was a little dazed, he just went to the door and heard Mrs. Wang's words, and he didn't know the cause of the matter. Hearing Mrs. Xing's words now, he was also stunned for a moment.The second room needs money? Or 3 taels?
"I heard that the old lady has fainted?" Jia Lian walked in anxiously, seeing Mrs. Xing sitting on the ground crying with a big slap on her face, she paused: "Ma'am, what's wrong?"

Jia She frowned tightly, and glanced at Wang Xifeng, "Daughter-in-law Lian, is what she said true?"

Wang Xifeng didn't hesitate much, and just told the cause and effect of the incident one by one.

After hearing this, both Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian's faces turned ugly.

It would be fine if the family was separated, but the eldest and the second family did not have a separate family. All the expenses of everyone up and down all went to the government's account. If you spend more money, you will be able to share less in the future. , the daily living expenses are nothing more than that, and no one really cares about those things, but it is too much to take out tens of thousands.

Mrs. Wang glanced at Wang Xifeng, her eyes were a little gloomy.

It seems that this niece has also begun to know that she has to plan for Dafang, and she is not of one mind after all.The imperial doctor came to see the old lady, and said that she was angry and anxious, and she wanted to rest well, and said that the old lady was an elderly person, and she couldn't always be so sad, happy, and angry, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

In this way, no matter how much dissatisfaction Dafang Zong has, how dare he say "no" more?
In the end, I still took the 3 taels of silver notes.

Originally, she wanted to ask Daiyu to bring it in when she entered the palace next time, but how could Daiyu be willing to do this? One has two, she is not used to it.

So, he said with a look of embarrassment: "My cousin wants such a large sum of money, I think it is urgent, but if I want to enter the palace, I have to wait for the imperial concubine to be summoned. When will the nobleman remember to summon me once?" Not necessarily..."

How could Mother Jia fail to recognize that this was an excuse? After thinking about it, what she said was reasonable. I was afraid that there would be no use for her granddaughter to be in a hurry. Waiting like this was really not an option, so she had to Giving up, he turned around a few more detours and found a little eunuch who had previously bribed a house of internal affairs.

Back in the plum garden, Xueyan couldn't help sighing again, "At first I was annoyed when I saw that the eldest lady seemed to be sneaking into money's eyes, but today I look at it like this, she is a pitiful person, the dignified eldest lady, unexpectedly It's because even the girl doesn't pay attention to her, which shows what kind of life she has lived in these years."

Before Daiyu could answer, she paused and said, "But I still don't like her."

The big word "greedy" is written all over his face, and when he sees some gold, silver and jade trinkets, he can't wait to pull them all into his arms. Such a petty greedy appearance is really unlikable.

Daiyu raised the corner of her mouth and said with a smile: "I often hear people say that the eunuchs in the palace are extremely greedy for money, do you know why?"

Xueyan was puzzled when she heard the words, pondered for a moment, then hesitated and said: "Those who can enter the palace as eunuchs are all desperate, or have no father or mother, or are too poor to survive and are cruelly cruel by their family members." Those who are sent to the palace are doomed to have no offspring after becoming eunuchs, and there will be no hope when they get older, so they always want to earn more money to be with them, so that they can have something to eat when they can't serve their master in the future... ...Miss, do you mean that the eldest wife's mentality is similar to that of a eunuch in the palace?"

Isn't that right? Mrs. Xing doesn't like her mother-in-law, nor does she like a man. At this age, she doesn't have any children, and most likely she won't have any in the future, and Jia Lian Wang Xifeng has always looked down on her as a stepmother. , I also know that there is nothing to hope for in the future. Faced with such a situation, doesn't she have to try her best to grab something into her arms? The harder it gets, in the future, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng will always take care of her for the little money in her hands, right?
After Xueyan wanted to understand this point, she suddenly realized, "I wondered before, why did the old lady take such a person as a daughter-in-law at the beginning, with such a temperament... Now that I think about it, the eldest wife may have found out that she was married after she got married. The situation has changed.”

Daiyu also smiled, Mrs. Xing may indeed have plans for her own future, but I have to say that the old lady has a bad eye for choosing a daughter-in-law, no matter whether it is a daughter-in-law or a granddaughter-in-law.

After Wang Xifeng returned to the room, she leaned on the kang, her pretty face was gloomy, it was obvious that she was in such a bad mood at the moment that even Ping'er didn't dare to tease her.

Seeing Jia Lian coming in, Wang Xifeng squinted her eyes and said, "Second Master, I'd better go talk to Master, we can't go on like this anymore, there is not much money left in the mansion, and this time I will take out another [-]... If we continue to toss about, what will fall on the second master in the future will really be an empty shell."

Jia Lian was taken aback when he heard the words, "Didn't you always have a close relationship with the second room?"

Wang Xifeng rolled his eyes at him, and then said: "Don't think I'm scaring you, I'm in charge of this mansion, how can I not know the specific situation? I'll tell you the truth, today's 3 taels, but even the few thousand that the Lin family gave earlier are included."

Jia Lian was taken aback, "Impossible? Why is our house like this?"

"Do you know how much the house spends in a year? Not to mention the masters, but those girls, who wear bright silk and satin, and eat better than the masters of ordinary merchants... Every month, the master You have to get a few thousand taels, and the second master and the second wife are less than a few thousand taels, and there is Baoyu, plus Yuan Chun has 10,000+ taels gone..."

The more she said, Wang Xifeng's complexion became more and more ugly, and she lowered her voice and said, "You can tell by scratching your fingers."

"After all these years, what is the state of the mansion... Although our mansion has a rich family property, the food and food these years have been left by our ancestors. It can almost be said that we only go out but not in. This way , even the national treasury will always have a bright day.”

Jia Lian's heart was about to jump out of his throat when he heard this, and his whole body became anxious. He always thought that his family was still the Jia family where "white jade is the king's horse", so today he took out the [-] yuan again. He was very happy, but he never really took it seriously, but who would have thought that his wife would tell him that the house was almost empty?
"Why didn't you tell me about the situation at home!" Jia Lian couldn't help complaining, "A woman who seems to be quite shrewd on weekdays, but you have kept such a big matter from me until now!"

Wang Xifeng pursed her lips, and said nothing with a sullen face.
